Economic Development sub-committee

The committee identified three focus areas in regional economic development. In each area, the committee recommends actively identifying key challenges, seeking solutions, and developing specific performance measurements for outcomes. This means establishing an integrated framework that supports economic development, including expanding alliances with businesses, partnerships with federal and state agencies, and encouraging community-wide participation; building workforce development programs to address current community needs and educate for future demands and requirements; and increasing technology transfer of intellectual property, implementing a University-wide approach to commercialization, and effectively utilizing physical assets and human resources to the benefit of enhanced economic development and outcomes.
